Direct supercell approach calculations of the magnetic exchange interactions in Mn-doped ScN was carried out in the local spin density approximation by using the muffin-tin-orbital Green's function
method. We found that magnetic interactions are long range interactions and affected by the randomness,
band gap corrections, and carrier concentrations. Using total energy minimization approach we found that
the global energy minimum of MnN is obtained for zinc-blende structure. If the compound is compressed
by 6%, the energy minimum corresponds to the rock-salt structure in disagreement with the
experimentally observed tetragonal distorted rock-salt structure, known as -phase. An isostructural phase transition for alloys from MnN -phase to -ScN phase was found to occur at a hydrostatic pressure of 18 GPa. We predict above room temperature
for Mn concentrations of about 10% in ScN : Mn system.
